Chapter 708: It was all the old Taoist’s boasting
"Liran, you..."
"Hmph, I don't want to talk to my brother." Huo Liran turned her head and put one hand on Huo Tu's arm.
Huo Feng wanted to say something, but after being shaken like that, he swallowed back the words.
"Okay, okay, what's wrong with you two siblings? Let's go to the clinic." Huo Tu led Huo Liran forward.
Huo Liran took a few steps and turned back to make a face at Huo Feng, then raised her chin and turned her head away proudly.
There was a hint of worry in Huo Feng's eyes. With such a character, he might be protected by someone in the Huo family, but what would happen if he left the Huo family?
He was worried that she wouldn't be able to get married in the future!

Ye Qianning returned to the room and lay down to sleep for a while. He woke up at dinner time. The waiter brought the food. He had just taken two bites when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Luo Feng came in from outside and bowed respectfully to Ye Qianning: "Miss Ye."
"What is it?"
"The child was clamoring to see Miss Ye a few days ago. Miss Ye happened to be out at sea those days. I just heard that Miss Ye had returned, so I came to look for you."
"It's just right. I also have something to see." Ye Qianning stood up: "Let's go."
Luo Feng glanced at the food on the table: "It's not too late for Miss Ye to finish her meal."
"Let's go, let's go." Ye Qianning was the first to walk out of the room.
She went out to sea a week ago just for this matter. Half a month ago, she went out to sea and followed the guidance of dolphins to find Dapao and asked him to return to the island and bring a letter to his master.
A few days ago, when she went out to sea, she received a reply from her master and roughly knew what was going on.
Ye Qianning came to the boy's room, knocked on the door a few times but no one responded. He reached out and pushed it open, only to be greeted by a sharp weapon.
Luo Feng raised his hand and knocked it away, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Ye Qianning looked down and saw an arrowhead.
"Miss Ye, you're not scared, are you?"
Ye Qianning frowned and looked at the boy in the room with a vigilant look on his face. His hair was still messy, and he was wearing clean clothes. His face was the same as a month ago, so dark that his features could not be seen clearly.
The same thing happened with the five or six year old child, whose clothes were clean and whose head was the same as before, now hiding at the table and staring at them.
"Have they always been this vigilant?"
"I heard from the shopkeeper that it is."
"Where do they eat on weekdays?"
"The waiters always knock on the door and send the guests to the door. They dare not enter. Two waiters in the inn have been injured. Only the doctor will not attack." Luo Feng said.
"...You guys are really patient."
"kindness?"
"If I met a kid like that, I would have thrown him out long ago. Why would I feed and shelter him? Why would I spend money to suffer?"
“…”
Ye Qianning walked in: "I heard you were looking for me."
"You...you have to avenge my family." The boy's mouth was not begging, but as if the other party owed their family something.
"It seems you still haven't figured it out." Ye Qianning took out a string of jade pendants from his sleeve and threw them on the ground: "Can you recognize which one is yours?"
The jade pendant fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the lingering sound echoed.
Luo Feng took a look and recognized at a glance that they were all high-quality jades of great value. There was also a pleasant fragrance in the air that made people feel relaxed instantly.
The boy looked at them, his eyes startled, and then he knelt on the ground to check, picking up one by one. They were all exactly the same as the ones he had seen at home before, and the smell was the same.
"No... Impossible... My father said, there is only one like it in the world..."
"These are just the tip of the iceberg. How many do you want? Do you think anyone who holds them will avenge your family?"
The claim that it is unique in the world is just the old Taoist’s boasting.
